The present disclosure relates to a medicament delivery device. The medicament delivery device comprises a housing, a needle, a medicament delivery mechanism and an actuator. The actuator is moveable relative to the housing from an initial position to an intermediate position such that the actuator exerts a force on the first locking member to urge the first locking member from a locked state to an unlocked state wherein the first biasing member moves the needle from a retracted position to an extended position. The actuator is moveable relative to the housing from the intermediate position to a second position such that the actuator exerts a force on the second locking member to urge the second locking member from a locked state to an unlocked state wherein the second biasing member moves the dispensing member within the housing to dispense medicament from the reservoir when the reservoir contains medicament.

In one aspect the present disclosure refers to a measuring arrangement for measuring of a volume change of a liquid medium located inside a liquid reservoir, the measuring arrangement comprising: a gas tight enclosure having an interior volume containing a gas reservoir and containing the liquid reservoir, wherein the liquid reservoir is filled with a liquid medium, a gas inlet in flow connection with the gas reservoir and extending through a boundary of the gas tight enclosure to an exterior of the gas tight enclosure, an outlet connectable with the liquid reservoir and extending through the boundary of the gas tight enclosure, wherein the gas reservoir and the liquid reservoir are hermetically separated by an impenetrable separation wall, and a flow meter arranged in or across the gas inlet to measure an ingress of a gaseous medium through the inlet in response to a withdrawal of the liquid medium from the liquid reservoir through the outlet.

Apparatus and methods of dispensing fluid intravenously to a subject, and of flushing a line of an intravenous fluid administration apparatus, are provided. The apparatus may include a reservoir pump configured to operate in fluid communication with an upstream source of a first fluid and a downstream pressure-operated valve. The reservoir pump may also be configured to, during operation, automatically refill itself with the first fluid from the first upstream source. The downstream pressure-operated valve may be configured to operate in fluid communication with the reservoir pump and a second fluid source upstream of the pressure-operated valve, and to, during operation, dispense the first fluid to tubing downstream of the pressure-operated valve based on a pressure condition within the pressure-operated valve exceeding a threshold pressure.

A fluid infusion device, for delivery of a medication fluid to the body of a user, includes a housing, a fluid reservoir for the medication fluid, a dosing mechanism, an infusion component, and a mechanical actuator. The fluid reservoir and the dosing mechanism are located in the housing, and the dosing mechanism is coupled to receive the medication fluid from the fluid reservoir. The dosing mechanism has an adjustable fluid chamber that defines a variable dosage volume. The infusion component is coupled to the dosing mechanism to receive the medication fluid from the adjustable fluid chamber. The mechanical actuator is coupled to the dosing mechanism such that operation of the mechanical actuator causes the medication fluid to be expelled from the adjustable fluid chamber to the infusion component.

Provided is a system for dispensing fluid. The system includes a housing defining a chamber; an inflatable bag disposed in the chamber and adapted to contain a fluid, the bag being in fluid communication with a flow path for flow of the fluid out of the bag; and a pressure source for inflating the bag to force the fluid from the bag to the flow path at a controlled rate. The bag inflates against an inner surface of the housing such that, prior to the bag being fully inflated, the fluid contained in the bag is forced from the bag at the controlled rate.

The present invention provides a method for culturing cells in a cell culture container having a base section, a top section arranged in parallel with the top section and a wall element arranged between the top section and the base section and defining an internal lumen of the container, in which the wall element of the container is compressible with respect to the top and bottom section, and in which the top section of the container has an optionally sealable inlet, in which the container is composed of a flexible material, comprising culturing cells in a culture medium in the cell culture container. Also provide is a cell culture container having a base section, a top section arranged in parallel with the top section and a wall element arranged between the top section and the base section and defining an internal lumen of the container, in which the wall element of the container is compressible with respect to the top and bottom section, and in which the top section of the container has an optionally sealable inlet, in which the wall element of the container is composed of a flexible material.

A repeater system may control a pump by using a repeater and a user interface. An adhesive patch system may be used for affixing a pump or other object to a human body. Such an adhesive patch system may include two sets of adhesive members, each member including an adhesive material on at least one side so as to attach to the body. The members of the first set are spaced to allow the members of the second set to attach to the body in spaces provided between the members of the first set, and the members of the second set are spaced to allow members of the first set to detach from the body without detaching the members of the second set. Also, fill stations and base stations are provided for personal pump systems.
